Why I Made This (The Real Story Behind Adulting Done Bright™)

Hi, I’m Rob—founder of Adulting Done Bright. I’ve never been officially diagnosed with chronic fatigue, but the name has always hit a little too close to home. Honestly, if there’s a sleep debt registry somewhere, I probably owe back taxes.

Even before the house filled up with noise and life—back when it was just me, a full-time job, and a side hustle or two—I was running on fumes. I’d be up late, juggling spreadsheets and to-do lists, only to wake up groggy, stiff, and somehow more tired than the night before. Sound familiar?

Then life got... fuller.

A wife. A dog. Three daughters in three very different life stages. A mortgage. And bills that multiply like rabbits. Adulting officially became an Olympic sport. And let me tell you, coffee wasn’t cutting it anymore.

I tried everything—from sugar-packed energy drinks that made me crash harder than a toddler on a Pixy Stix bender, to coffee alternatives that didn’t work, to natural energy supplements that felt more like a placebo than a pick-me-up. I searched for anything that could be a real wake-up product. I just wanted a healthy energy drink that could fit into my morning routine for energy and actually help.

Most energy drinks were full of things I couldn’t pronounce or didn’t need. Even the ones claiming to be “natural” left me jittery, bloated, or worse—back to square one. And coffee? That black liquid started to feel like fighting a five-alarm fire with a squirt gun.

So I started digging—deep.

Ingredient research. Adaptogens. Caffeine alternatives. I learned what actually helps your body wake up naturally and keep going without the crash. I wasn’t looking for hype—I needed something real. Something that worked. I filed Health Canada applications, played mad scientist with flavor testing, and built a formula from the ground up. It wasn’t quick. But eventually, I built Adulting Done Bright™.

The Better Morning Drink I Couldn't Find—So I Made It

Now it’s yours. A zero sugar, fruit-flavored energy drink powder that actually supports your body—not just jolts your brain. It’s smooth energy with natural ingredients, including creatine, electrolytes, and nootropics that help with clarity, hydration, and stamina.

Call it a better morning drink, a wake-up drink, or a coffee alternative that works—I just call it necessary.

It’s the energy drink coffee wishes it was.

If you’ve ever Googled things like:

  • “Why am I always tired?”

  • “How to get more energy”

  • “Best drink for focus and energy”

  • “Natural energy booster that works”

…you’re not alone. That’s exactly where I was. If you’ve been on the hunt for a functional beverage that doesn’t spike your blood sugar or leave you crashing midday, or something that’s made in Canada with ingredients you can trust—you’re in the right place.

This isn’t just another can of fizz pretending to fix your life. It’s the clean Canadian energy drink I needed to survive three kids, three jobs, and a to-do list that eats to-do lists.
